Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We seek your permission to print the book "The Description of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)" in Turkish. Do you allow us?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : They want to print it in Turkish because they asked us about the differences among Muslims in prayer. One says he lets his hands hang down, another places his hands like this, and another places his hands like that. There are many such descriptions. They say, "We want something, meaning a unified prayer." One says he is a Hanafi, the second a Shafi'i, the third a Hanbali, and the fourth a Maliki. So we said there is a book by the Shaykh. We seek his permission; if he grants it, we will translate it and then print it without selling it, meaning it will be free.
The Shaykh : The rule in such a case is that they send a letter and commit to what they say. Is this by Al-Albani or in Turkish?
The questioner : In Turkish.
The Shaykh : Turkish, yes, it is available.
The questioner : Good, and this is free, this one.
Another questioner : No, it is not free. Of course, it was printed recently, last year, in Turkey.
Another questioner : But perhaps, our Shaykh, there is a mistake in this edition. The printing appears to be from left to right.
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : Our Shaykh, it does not mean that...
The Shaykh : It needs binding and creativity, and it is a good deed.
The questioner : Yes, well, if we print it from him and distribute it for free, is that permissible?
The Shaykh : In such a case, when it is free, it is obligatory to send a letter.
The questioner : From whom?
The Shaykh : To the author? To whom?
The questioner : Who is the one who sends the letter?
The Shaykh : The one who wants to print it, my brother, and distribute it for free.
The questioner : I want to print, for example, from it.
The Shaykh : You send a letter and commit that you will distribute it for free, and we will say to you, may Allah reward you with good... earn for us.
The questioner : ... I write. It is obligatory that I write.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: O my master, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : Now, whoever has a question, let him raise his hand. Please, go ahead.
The questioner : Please, Abu 'Abdu.
